The
Progress Review of the Climate Smart Agriculture Project (CSIAP) conducted by
the World Bank commenced in Southern & Uva provinces and will continue in
North Central and Eastern provinces. This progress review is a structured
evaluation or assessment of the advancement and performance of the CSIAP.
It serves as a checkpoint to gauge how well the CSIAP is proceeding in
terms of achieving its objectives, adhering to timelines, managing resources,
addressing challenges or obstacles and contributing to their intended outcomes.
These progress reviews are conducted periodically throughout the project to
ensure that it stays on track and identify any areas requiring
adjustments or interventions.

CSIAP & Mission Leader with Consultant Mr. S. Manoharan, Consultant
